Have just added a new hard drive. In Windows 7 Computer Management its
called Disc 1 and that is split into 2 bits:-

System Reserved with no letter allocation xx MB NTFS, Healthy (System,
Active, Primary Partition), and
(C xx GB NTFS, Healthy (Boot, Page file, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
....and that's fine.

But also I still have the old hard drive connected which I want to keep as
slave. At the mo its called Disc 0 and split into 3 bits:-

System Reserved (E xx MB NTFS, Healthy (Active, Primary Partition), and
New Volume (F xx GB NTFS, and
xx GB Unallocated

I formatted both the E and the F and the F is all free space but the E seems
to be only 86% free?
....but in any case what I want to do is retain the Unallocated bit as is and
merge the two drives E and F into one empty drive called E.
How to? Thanks.

Entirely possible you have bad sectors. Repartiioning *may* fix it
temporarily, but running a chkdsk on the drive and a *full* scan for
bad sectors is recommended. Certainly do both before putting anything on
it.
